Kaushiki Chakraborty’s astonishing khayal vocal technique is the result of years of intense training. She spent much of her childhood living at the ITC Sangeet Research Academy, one of India’s premiere music institutions, while her esteemed father Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty worked there as a khayal scholar.
Staff at the academy are said to recall how she would respond to melodic phrases at six months old, and how she was singing tarana and bhajan before the age of two. In Kaushiki’s words, “by the time I was five my singing made sense...such was my addiction that it was beyond my grandparents to tame and make me sit with books”. Quickly hailed as a prodigy, she entered the concert arena early to great acclaim, performing widely while also earning a Masters in Philosophy from Jadavpur University.
Her Patiala gharana is known for a strong Islamic influence and elaborate melodic ornamentation. She is one of the first female Patiala singers to receive international recognition - chiefly gained through her Hindustani classical performances, but also through work in film and popular music. She also leads Sakhi, a diverse group of female artists, explaining that the project “is about understanding, from a female perspective, the diverse culture of India through all its traditional musical forms.”

"One has to mentally align oneself to the form...My training has taught me two approaches to music – to do music and or to become it. The latter gives you the fluidity to transcend form and become one with it." (Kaushiki Chakraborty)

Jaunpuri is a late morning raga. Its lineage is unclear, with its name suggesting links to either Javanpur in Gujarat or Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh - regions that lie over 1,300km apart. It is traditionally seen as being full of bhakti (devotion and cosmic grandeur), turning ‘upwards’ by placing its melodic centre of gravity in the higher half of the scale (known as uttarang-dominance), and exploring mainly in the middle and high octaves (madhya and taar saptaks).
Musicologist Rajan Parrikar describes it as an “Asavariant”, closely tied to the phraseologies of the Asavari family. It shares the same swaras as the modern Raag Asavari (SRgmPdn) - some see the two ragas as indistinguishable, while others seek to differentiate Jaunpuri by applying more ‘rounded’ melodic shapes.
Tanarang notes that ga and ni are varjit (forbidden) in Asavari’s ascent, whereas Jaunpuri allows the ni in both directions. Many of its swaras, particularly dmPgRS sequences, are approached with wide meend (bends), with ga and dha being played with oscillations. It has been adapted into Carnatic music as Raga Jonpuri, classified as a ‘derived’ raga of Natabhairavi, the 20th Melakarta scale.
